Short summary
Mesoscale eddies are abundant in the global oceans affect the physical, chemical and biological properties of the ocean. These changes can modify the air–sea CO2 fluxes. Here, we present a dataset of air–sea CO2 fluxes for 5996 long lived mesoscale eddies trajectories in the global ocean between 1993 to 2022. These trajectories can be used to understand the processes modifying and controlling the air–sea CO2 fluxes in mesoscale eddies which are supported by a comprehensive uncertainty budget.
